Which way do your windows open?
(lemmy.ml)
To let a breeze into your room, do your windows open out from the bottom or the top?
If your windows are stacked (upper and lower) which part opens and which part stays fixed?
(Germans with 3D windows don't count. Lüften is a weird cultish ritual and you should all feel bad.)
This atrocity. This is what WW2 was about
This actually looks amazing
They are. They're really expensive in the States, when you can find them, but almost every modern window (in Bavaria, at least) is one of these. They also come door-sized, so you can either open an outside door to walk through, or tilt it from the top to circulate air.
OP is probably just too dumb to figure out how to work them; they're fantastic, and I wish they were common here in the States.
The fact that they come in door sizes is new to me, but that sounds magical. Now if only bugs didn't see a cracked door or window and think it's free real-estate.
These are amazing, but I couldn't get them to work right at a suite I rented. I couldn't remember the handle positions so I had to muddle through every time.
It doesn't take long to get used to them, though, of you're around them all the time.
Screens for keeping bugs out!
But I couldn't walk through a door-sized version if there were a screen, unless there's some other European magic I didn't know about.
Sliding screen doors are common in the US
That's pretty standard on most new window installs across Western Europe, it's not exclusive to Germany at all.
Austria getting away with the exact same crimes once again. /s
Most windows are like this in my country. They are definitely not an atrocity.
I wish my windows worked like that!
Edit: And my DOORS!
Doors, lol.
Fuck you, my house has a drawbridge now!
Now there's an idea.
